Man was it COLD! I went to the Montana game and don't remember being that cold. I just wish we could have the Richmond and Maine games back; I think both games were win-able. In my opinion, the Bryant game was a waste as it really served no purpose. We knew the win wouldn't help us and maybe a bye week would have served us better. Of course, hind-sight is 20-20. It doesn't seem right not seeing the Minutemen in the playoff brackets but that expectation is a tribute to these seniors for raising the bar to that height. Thank you so much seniors for all the memories you've given us; you've left your mark on UMass Football and changed our expectations for ever.

As an alum who loves his alma mater, and has been a season ticket holder for over thirty years, I am prompted to comment about something "topsfieldfan" wrote: "...and changed our expectations forever." After all these years MY expectations were that UMass would be playing at a much higher level of football. When I see the names of some of the schools in this year's playoffs I wonder what UMass is doing in this crowd. Because of my feelings the drive from eastern Mass. to Amherst gets longer each passing season.
